get_route_contract

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are present, so the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the output contents and implies a read-only extraction operation, but it does not mention edge cases, external dependencies, or any side effects beyond the output.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single focused sentence that front-loads the primary action and lists the key output categories without any wasted words. It is appropriately concise and scannable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description names the main outputs and an output schema exists, but parameter semantics are severely under-documented (0% schema coverage). The tool needs at least a brief note on how route_path should be specified and what repo_path controls to be fully actionable.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no parameter-level meaning. It does not explain the expected format of route_path or the purpose of repo_path, leaving both parameters semantically under-specified.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Extracts' and identifies the resource as 'API contract for a route'. It lists concrete deliverables (HTTP method, status codes, response model, callers with confidence scores), which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like trace_fullstack_path and get_stack_health.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the tool should be used when one needs a route's API contract, but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives. No exclusions or contrast with sibling tools are provided, leaving some selection inference to the agent.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
